As an enduring and iconic symbol of post-World War II Japanese cinematic history, [[Godzilla]] has been referenced and parodied multiple times in popular culture. Godzilla and more atomic monsters have appeared in a variety of mediums, including cartoons, film, literature, television, comics, and video games.
As an enduring and iconic symbol of post-World War II Japanese cinematic history, [[Godzilla]] is frequently '''referenced and parodied in popular culture'''. Godzilla and other icons of the [[kaiju]] genre have appeared in a variety of mediums ranging from cartoons, films, literature, television series, comics and video games. Often it is Godzilla's name, his design and/or the style of his films (e.g., where he demolishes cities) that is parodied the most. Godzilla's name is also often referenced by attaching the suffix "[[-zilla]]" to a word and/or phrase in order to denote size or monstrous/destructive behavior. The following is a list of such references, organized in alphabetical order. While this page aims to be comprehensive, due to the broad subject matter, it is always ever-growing.

Due to the nature of American entertainment often parodying different works of fiction, it has become pretty rare for Godzilla to not be referenced in an animated/live-action movie/TV show that intends to be comedic and/or having a habit of parodying pop culture. Often it is usually Godzilla's name, his design, and/or the style of his movies where he demolishes cities that is parodied the most. Godzilla's name is often been parodied by attaching the suffix "-zilla" to a word and/or phrase in order to denote size or monstrous/destructive nature.
In the Russian dub of the film, Harryhausen's sushi restaurant in Monstropolis is renamed Godzilla's.

| A character named Godzillo {{Nihongo|ゴジロ|Gojiro}}, who is described as a "Monster Hero," appears with a design and roar based on Godzilla's from ''[[Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'' and ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]''. Worth noting is that this character was actually included in the film with the permission of [[Toho]], who distributed it in theaters. In the promotional ''Vol. 0'' manga for the film, Godzillo's power, or "Quirk," is called "Toho." What this power is or can do is never specified.

| As [[Warner Bros.]] security pursues Pee-wee Hermann across the studio lot, they interrupt the filming of a battle between [[Godzilla]] and [[King Ghidorah]]. After Pee-wee rides through on his bike, crushing some miniature tanks, a speedboat from another movie set crashes in, hitting Godzilla and causing the King Ghidorah puppet to get pulled to the ceiling. Later on, after crashing a ''Twisted Sister'' music video, the speedboat crashes into a car, sending Godzilla flying. 34 years later, [[Godzilla (Monsterverse)|Godzilla]] and [[King Ghidorah (Monsterverse)|King Ghidorah]] would fight each other near an erupting volcano in ''[[Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'' (2019), distributed by Warner Bros.

| An insecure virus named Arthur replicates Ralph's insecurities, creating a legion of Ralph clones that rampage through the Internet. During the climax of the film, the Ralph clones combine into one giant Ralph named Ralphzilla, although this name is never spoken by the characters. Ralphzilla behaves like King Kong. He climbs the Google Building and swats at a Gmail chain email, carrying Vanelope with him in a recreation of the climax from [[King Kong (1933 film)|the original 1933 ''King Kong'' film]]. The song that plays during this scene is even titled "Kling Kong".

| The babies take control of a giant mechanical Reptar called the Reptar Robot and roam through the city causing unintentional destruction, referencing both Godzilla and [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla]]. They also pilot the Robot against Robosnail, a giant purple snail robot with mechanical crab-like pincers, and scale the Eiffel Tower with the Robot holding Angelica in its hand, referencing King Kong. Both mechas are eventually destroyed, with the Reptar Robot having its tail, right claw and head cut off.

| After Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and his dog Scooby-Doo bring fame to Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls by coaching the girls and winning a volleyball tournament, a celebration party is held at the school, in which Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are introduced to the "new students" and their fathers, which include Godzilla's daughter and Godzilla. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo promptly run away in terror.


Toho is not fond of Godzilla parodies and dislikes them strongly. They argue for their copyrighted material to be protected although there are so many movie/TV references to Godzilla that it's virtually impossible for Toho to respond to all of them.
Since Hanna-Barbera no longer held the rights to Godzilla when ''Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School'' was released, neither he nor his daughter are referred to by name during their brief appearance. However, in the film's model sheets, she is referred to as "Baby Godzilla".<ref name="Ghoul School model sheets">{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/details/sd-ghoul-school-models/page/n163/mode/2up|title=Scooby-Doo Ghoul School Model Sheets|author=Hanna-Barbera|date=12 February 1987|work=Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School}}</ref>

|"Map of Mayhem," titled "The Great Latitude Zero Battle" in Japan, references the film ''[[Latitude Zero]]'' both through its title, which is only one kanji off from the film's Japanese title, and its title card, which mimics both the film's title card and the famous Toho logo. The episode begins with an aquatic research vessel called the ''Seahawk'' going missing, a clear nod to the [[Seahawk|submarine of the same name]] from ''King Kong vs. Godzilla''. A scientist named Dr. Atsumi, possibly named after the character [[Joji Atsumi]] from ''[[The Mysterians]]'', is researching a lost civilization known as "Murasia," similar to [[Mu]] from ''[[Atragon (film)|Atragon]]''. The episode features a scene where characters depart via boat as part of an investigation party which is framed siilarly to scenes depicting the same situation from the original ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla]]'' and ''[[Mothra (film)|Mothra]]''. When the party reaches their destination at Latitude Zero, they are attacked by the villainous Dr. Eggman's battleship the Egg Giant Makan, which is clearly both named and designed after the Daimakan from ''[[The War in Space]]''. The Egg Giant Makan is even armed with a laser weapon heavily resembling the turret of a [[Maser Cannon]]. The Egg Giant Makan is then engaged by the GUN Fort, a drill-nosed multipurpose warship clearly modeled after the [[Gotengo]].

This episode is also rife with Godzilla and Toho references, including a giant moth named Mothmacin which is obviously based on [[Mothra]] and a giant robot called Mongroun which is the spitting image of the [[Showa era|Showa]] [[Moguera]]. A statue of Godzilla is briefly seen before seismic activity causes it to collapse. Atsumi further discusses the sunken Murasian civilizations and mentions that they worshiped dragons, while an ancient relief is shown onscreen depicting a giant serpentine dragon clearly resembling [[Manda]].

|As Mike and Frank search through Joe's old stuff for items of interest, Mike notes that he's located "an old Godzilla" but laments that "he's missing his hand."
| This episode contains a plethora of nods to Godzilla and the 1956 U.S. version of the [[Godzilla (1954 film)|original 1954 film ''Godzilla'']] known as ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)#U.S. release|Godzilla, King of the Monsters!]]''. It takes place in [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]] in the year 1956 at Acmeshita Labs (a play on Acme Labs, Pinky and the Brain's home and base of operations). In order to take over the world, Brain plans to use a shrinking ray in the lab which he converts into an enlarging ray to turn Pinky (dressed up as "Gollyzilla") and himself (using the name "Brainodo") into giants so that "Gollyzilla" can go on a rampage and "Brainodo" can save Japan, after which Brain expects that the Japanese people will thank him by making him their ruler; however, the real Gollyzilla appears as well and hilarity ensues. In the end, the ray eventually is damaged and goes haywire, shooting out rays in all directions and enlarging anything and everything around it (including Earth) so that the lab mice, even though they are still giants, are small once more in comparison to everything else around them. There are also a number of cutaways featuring a nameless [[Raymond Burr]] stand-in who says only "Yes, I see" several times throughout the episode. In addition, all of the human characters' lines in the episode (except for the Burr stand-in) are out of sync, a parody of a common trope in Japanese giant monster films.

|A dragon is terrorizing a medieval town, and the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister) are called in by the king to deal with the situation. The Warners suggest consulting the war room, and the cartoon cuts to a high tech facility where several people are sitting round a large, circular table.

The intended parody of the original Godzilla film is evident.

|[[Godzilla]]
| A giant monster resembling Homer, named Homerzilla, emerges from the ocean after an old man who had been dropping him donuts suddenly died and could no longer appease him. By the present day, a ''Homerzilla'' film has been produced and a board of executives seek to remake it as a Hollywood blockbuster. The resulting film, titled ''Zilla'', is a box office failure. Defeated, the executives dump all the promotions into the ocean, reawakening Homerzilla in the process. An onscreen message explains that Homerzilla will one day return just as soon as the ''Zilla'' film is forgotten. This episode is likely a jab at the [[GODZILLA (1998 film)|1998 ''GODZILLA'' film]] and its featured [[Godzilla (TriStar)|incarnation of Godzilla]], who was later reintroduced as [[Zilla]] and is still often referred to as such by Godzilla fans.
|On most episodes, Bart Simpson has a Godzilla doll in his room.

| "Map of Mayhem," titled "The Great Latitude Zero Battle" in Japan, references the film ''[[Latitude Zero]]'' both through its title, which is only one kanji off from the film's Japanese title, and its title card, which mimics both the film's title card and the famous Toho logo. The episode begins with an aquatic research vessel called the ''Seahawk'' going missing, a clear nod to the [[Seahawk|submarine of the same name]] from ''King Kong vs. Godzilla''. A scientist named Dr. Atsumi, played by [[Kenji Sahara]] and possibly named after the character [[Joji Atsumi]] from ''[[The Mysterians]]'', is researching a lost civilization known as "Murasia," similar to [[Mu]] from ''[[Atragon]]''. The episode features a scene where characters depart via boat as part of an investigation party, which is framed similarly to scenes depicting the same situation from the original 1954 ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla]]'' and ''[[Mothra (film)|Mothra]]''. When the party reaches their destination at Latitude Zero, they are attacked by the villainous Dr. Eggman's battleship, the ''Egg Giant Makan'', which is clearly both named and designed after the ''[[Daimakan]]'' from ''[[The War in Space]]''. The ''Egg Giant Makan'' is even armed with a laser weapon heavily resembling the turret of a [[Maser Cannon]]. The ''Egg Giant Makan'' is then engaged by the ''GUN Fort'', a drill-nosed multipurpose warship clearly modeled after the ''[[Gotengo]]'', also from ''[[Atragon]]''.
|As the Simpson family departs from Tokyo via airplane, a sudden attack by four famous kaiju prompts routine assurances by an unfazed pilot. Upon their escape, the scene reveals Gamera, Rodan, Mothra and Godzilla roaring into the sky.

This episode is also filled with Godzilla and Toho references, including a giant moth named Mothmacin which is obviously based on [[Mothra]] and a giant robot called Mongroun which is the spitting image of the [[Showa era|Showa]] [[Moguera]]. A statue of Godzilla is briefly seen before seismic activity causes it to collapse. Atsumi further discusses the sunken Murasian civilizations and mentions that they worshiped dragons, while an ancient relief is shown onscreen depicting a giant serpentine dragon clearly resembling [[Manda]].

At the beginning of this episode, Beast Wars Megatron (referred to as "Beast Megatron" in the episode) in his dinosaur mode rampages across Tokyo in a similar fashion to Godzilla and he glows purple as a purple laser beam fires out of his dinosaur mode's mouth and sets the streets ablaze, mimicking Godzilla charging up, firing his atomic breath and turning Tokyo into a sea of fire. Later, Optimus Primal in his gorilla mode climbs up Tokyo Tower, just as King Kong and [[Mechani-Kong]] both did in ''[[King Kong Escapes]]'', where he would attack Starscream and Wingstun in their jet modes.

|Ascot summons a caterpillar-like monster to destroy the Magic Knights. The monster looks and sounds exactly like Mothra Larva. When it absorbs the Magic Knights' magic powers, it looks very similar to Battra's larval stage and sounds exactly like Battra and/or Rodan. It's final transformation appears to be reminiscent of Battra's Imago stage, and he sounds a lot like the Heisei King Ghidorah as well.
|Skidmark mentions some kaiju while the rest of the F.A.S.T. team explores Toyko that includes Godzilla, Mechagodzilla and SpaceGodzilla (he was also going to mention Minilla before Whipflash slapped him in order to shut him up). Later on, Chet gets lost in a toy store and accidentally activates both a giant robot toy and a giant kaiju toy (the second toy is a hybrid of Godzilla, Gigan and Guiron) which then terrorize him in a toy city. The giant kaiju toy mimics Godzilla and also uses the Showa Godzilla's roar. The giant kaiju toy would use Godzila's tail-sliding kick from ''[[Godzilla vs. Megalon]]'' on the giant robot toy, then focuses its attention on the giant robot toy as Chet flees from the scene.<br>

{{Cleanup|Incorporate bulleted entries into table(s).}}
*Rodan's roar appeared in two episodes of the anime ''Naruto''. The first time was in an episode when Naruto farts on Kiba's face and Kiba screams with Rodan's roar. The second time, when Konohamaru calls Sakura "Naruto's girlfriend", she lets out Rodan's roar and punches Naruto.
*In many episodes of ''Phineas and Ferb'', a Godzilla-like creature has made many appearances.
*In the popular 1980s sci-fi sitcom ''ALF'', there are many references to Godzilla:  
**In an episode of Season 2, ALF enters the Tanners' living room and changes the channel on the TV, stating "It's "Godzilla Week" on Channel 6!". He exclaims "They're showing ''Godzilla vs. the Thing'', ''Godzilla vs. King Kong'', and ''Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster''!". After watching for a few seconds, he sees one of the monsters (ironically, one not even from a Godzilla film at all) roaring at the screen and quickly runs from the room, screaming in fear as he does.
**In an episode of Season 3, Kate uses Godzilla's attack on Tokyo in the original film to explain how an earthquake works to ALF. In another episode from the same season, ALF refers to a pregnant Kate as "Crabzilla" in reference to her recent moodiness.  
**In an episode of Season 4, when Kate asks ALF to leave the room (something ALF is asked to do a lot in the series), the alien retorts "You didn't say "Godzilla says!"". When Kate gives him "the look", ALF quickly reconsiders and says "But perhaps I...didn't hear!", then beats a hasty retreat to the kitchen.
*In an episode of the Comedy Central series ''Tosh.0'', during a video of a reckless driver crashing into several people and vehicles, host Daniel Tosh proposes that the driver may have been trying to escape from [[Godzilla]], as a brief clip of Godzilla roaring from ''[[King Kong vs. Godzilla]]'' is shown.
*In the anime ''Bakugan'', there are many references to Godzilla:
**In Episode 17 of Season 1, when Drago was about to defeat Tentaclear, he had his regular roar, but it was mixed with Godzilla's.
**The Bakugan Mantris greatly resembles [[Kamacuras]].
**The primary antagonist of Season 1 of ''Masquerade'' resembles the [[Xilien]]s.
**The third evolution of the Bakugan Hydranoid, Alpha Hydranoid, shares many similarities with [[King Ghidorah]] (and a few with [[Godzilla]]): they had a past as the primary villain but then turned good, they are three-headed alien dragons, and they have electricity-based powers and also human-like masters.
**If one combines both Episodes 15 and 33 of Season 2, a story very similar to ''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla]]'' is shown: a known hero from the past seems to act weirdly and be evil ([[Godzilla]] and Hydranoid), then another good character ([[Anguirus]] and Ingram) notices this and attacks it, destroying its fake skin and revealing its mechanical identity ([[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla]] and Hades). The good character re-attacks, but it fails and is defeated. Then after these events, the real hero (Godzilla and Hydranoid) fights against his mechanical counterpart with an Asian-style monster on his side ([[King Caesar]] and Fortress) and successfully defeats it.
*In the ''[[wikipedia:Super Sentai|Super Sentai]]'' series ''[[wikipedia:Gosei Sentai Dairanger|Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]'', the Super Mythical Chi Beast Daimugen, while in turtle form, uses the roar of [[Anguirus]].
*In episode 0 of the Chinese Donghua ''Dragon Raja'', the main character Lu Mingfei tells a story about a giant robotic warrior on a distant planet named “Godzilla”.


Later, Torupa, the villain of the series uses the club president's thoughts of anger over Akane's friend not accepting that he loves her, (even though he was stalking her in a rather disturbing way) and his hatred for those who judge him to create an Idiom of the Kaiju. The Idiom appears as a giant egg and AIT tries to destroy it using the Ultima Cannon, but it only makes the egg hatch into Gyleek, who rampages through the city. In additon to having Godzilla like-features on its body, Gyleek had sound bytes of Godzilla roars as part of its audio sound effects.

|The playable Nephilim Megadon seems to be based off kaiju such as [[Godzilla]] and [[Gamera]], being reptilian like both kaiju while having a spike on his back similar to Godzilla's dorsal fins and fire-based attacks like Gamera. A skin for Megadon is named "1954," with Megadon having a black and white appearance. The Nephilim Makairus have a very similar head to [[Baragon]]'s, with a horn on their head and goblin-esque ears. Torgahra, one of the four Nephilim Monarchs and a boss in the game, has an appearance and characteristics similar to [[King Ghidorah]], most notably the [[King Ghidorah (Monsterverse)|Monsterverse version]] with bioelectric attacks and the ability to alter weather patterns and generate storms.

This battle is most likely an homage to the original ''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla]]'' film, where [[Mechagodzilla (Showa)|Mechagodzilla]] initially wears a [[Fake Godzilla|Godzilla disguise]] before shedding it upon taking enough damage. Mecha Knuckles' true form shares some design elements with Mechagodzilla, such as its gray body, large pupil-less eyes, and the joints on its tail which are reminiscent of Mechagodzilla's arm and leg joints.

|To transition into the "Email Twitter Attack!" segment, an opening jingle is played featuring footage from multiple Gamera films and ''[[Gappa (film)|Gappa]]''.
|One of the poems featured in this collection of parody poems centered around famous movie monsters, "Godzilla Pooped on My Honda", features a narrator expressing regret about moving to Tokyo due to multiple humorous kaiju-related incidents. The incidents, in order of occurrence, include [[King Ghidorah]] fighting an unnamed turtle kaiju (possibly [[Gamera]]) and kaiju being exposed as giant men in suits, giant robots crushing their mailbox, [[Mothra]] eating their Sunday clothes, and Godzilla defecating on their car. The poem is accompanied by simple illustrations of the heads of King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Godzilla, and the next page showcases Godzilla fighting Mothra with King Ghidorah and two giant robots rampaging around, all while a woman stares in disbelief at what is presumably her car covered in Godzilla's feces.

Later when trying to ask Elke, their goth classmate interested in the supernatural for help in their investigations, she brushes them off by telling them to search online. Audrey responds by pointing out how internet misinformation isn't going to help much and sarcastically declares that lizard people are taking over streaming services to exclusively show Godzilla content. Elke responds with a remark that the lizard people probably find Godzilla to be an aspirational figure.

|A story titled "The King of All Monsters" pays homage to Godzilla and the tokusatsu genre while delivering a horror story. The story follows an aging suit actor who is forced into retirement by selfish and greedy executives, who think replacing him with the latest in CGI and digital technology will make his character "scary again" to modern audiences. After being shocked by a digital camera, the angry suit actor transforms into a giant monster and rampages across Tokyo. The main character is named Haruo Furuya, a play on Godzilla's original suit actor [[Haruo Nakajima]], and [[Bin Furuya]], the original suit actor for [[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman (character)|Ultraman]].

After chasing Vlad through various permutations of vampire, Frankenstein and werewolf films, Elvira finds herself in the titular [[Monsterland]] of the 1968 film "[[Destroy All Monsters|Destruct All Kaiju]]" and encounters various kaiju such as "[[Godzilla|Kingzilla]]", "[[Minilla|Kingya]]", "[[Rodan|Crowdan]]", "[[Mothra|Maripothra]]" and "[[Ebirah|Dungenuss]]". Additionally spotted in her arrival are an unaltered [[Gorosaurus]] and [[Anguirus]]. While Vlad cannot control the monsters directly, he plans on working with the [[Kilaak|Murderlaak]]s to recruit them instead after they gas the island so that they can put in their mind control devices. Elvira ends up battling the kaiju with the use of a Mecha-Elvira that is provided to her, using fighting tactics that she learned from watching ''[[wikia:w:c:ultra:Ultraman (series)|Ultraman]]'' on TV.

|Large Antarctic sea mammal / "Antarctic Godzilla"
|This large Antarctic sea mammal has also been called "Antarctic Godzilla" by the crew of the ''Soya'' (宗谷), the research vessel that discovered it, due to its perceived resemblance to Godzilla.
|7:00 PM, February 13, [[1958]]
|On February 13, 1958, at about 7:00 PM, the Japanese research vessel ''Soya'' (宗谷) reportedly encountered a large creature at Lutzow-Holm Bay in [[Antarctica]]. The cryptid is said to be mammalian; the most common explanation for it is a misidentified whale.

This article is a work in progress.
Please help in the creation of this article
by expanding or improving it.

As an enduring and iconic symbol of post-World War II Japanese cinematic history, Godzilla is frequently referenced and parodied in popular culture. Godzilla and other icons of the kaiju genre have appeared in a variety of mediums ranging from cartoons, films, literature, television series, comics and video games. Often it is Godzilla's name, his design and/or the style of his films (e.g., where he demolishes cities) that is parodied the most. Godzilla's name is also often referenced by attaching the suffix "-zilla" to a word and/or phrase in order to denote size or monstrous/destructive behavior. The following is a list of such references, organized in alphabetical order. While this page aims to be comprehensive, due to the broad subject matter, it is always ever-growing.

Monsters-vs-aliens-giant-insectosaurus-2wekj2zj2rehryav.jpg
Insectosaurus.jpg

Later on, after crashing a Twisted Sister music video, the speedboat crashes into a car, sending Godzilla flying. 34 years later, Godzilla and King Ghidorah would fight each other near an erupting volcano in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), distributed by Warner Bros.
Test Image.png
Ralph Breaks the Internet 2018/11/21 An insecure virus named Arthur replicates Ralph's insecurities, creating a legion of Ralph clones that rampage through the Internet. During the climax of the film, the Ralph clones combine into one giant Ralph named Ralphzilla, although this name is never spoken by the characters. Ralphzilla behaves like King Kong. He climbs the Google Building and swats at a Gmail chain email, carrying Vanelope with him in a recreation of the climax from the original 1933 King Kong film. The song that plays during this scene is even titled "Kling Kong".
Mechareptar.png
Rugrats in Paris: The Movie 2000/11/17 The babies take control of a giant mechanical Reptar called the Reptar Robot and roam through the city causing unintentional destruction, referencing both Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. They also pilot the Robot against Robosnail, a giant purple snail robot with mechanical crab-like pincers, and scale the Eiffel Tower with the Robot holding Angelica in its hand, referencing King Kong. Both mechas are eventually destroyed, with the Reptar Robot having its tail, right claw and head cut off.
Godzilla and daughter (Ghoul School).png
Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School 1988/10/16 After Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and his dog Scooby-Doo bring fame to Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls by coaching the girls and winning a volleyball tournament, a celebration party is held at the school, in which Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are introduced to the "new students" and their fathers, which include Godzilla's daughter and Godzilla. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo promptly run away in terror.

Since Hanna-Barbera no longer held the rights to Godzilla when Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School was released, neither he nor his daughter are referred to by name during their brief appearance. However, in the film's model sheets, she is referred to as "Baby Godzilla".[2]

SeaRex3D.jpg
Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World 2010/05/14 A Late Jurassic marine crocodile named Dakosaurus is mentioned in this film as "Godzilla".
Snow Godzilla.png Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion the Movie: Mirai Kara Kita Shinsoku no ALFA-X 2019/12/27 A creature called Snow Godzilla appears in the film. His design originated in VFX artist Takuya Uenishi's short film G vs. G, which he submitted to the GEMSTONE Creators Audition.[3]

Pinky and the Brain "Tokyo Grows" 1995/11/24 This episode contains a plethora of nods to Godzilla and the 1956 U.S. version of the original 1954 film Godzilla known as Godzilla, King of the Monsters!. It takes place in Tokyo, Japan in the year 1956 at Acmeshita Labs (a play on Acme Labs, Pinky and the Brain's home and base of operations). In order to take over the world, Brain plans to use a shrinking ray in the lab which he converts into an enlarging ray to turn Pinky (dressed up as "Gollyzilla") and himself (using the name "Brainodo") into giants so that "Gollyzilla" can go on a rampage and "Brainodo" can save Japan, after which Brain expects that the Japanese people will thank him by making him their ruler; however, the real Gollyzilla appears as well and hilarity ensues. In the end, the ray eventually is damaged and goes haywire, shooting out rays in all directions and enlarging anything and everything around it (including Earth) so that the lab mice, even though they are still giants, are small once more in comparison to everything else around them. There are also a number of cutaways featuring a nameless Raymond Burr stand-in who says only "Yes, I see" several times throughout the episode. In addition, all of the human characters' lines in the episode (except for the Burr stand-in) are out of sync, a parody of a common trope in Japanese giant monster films.

Defeated, the executives dump all the promotions into the ocean, reawakening Homerzilla in the process. An onscreen message explains that Homerzilla will one day return just as soon as the Zilla film is forgotten.

"Map of Mayhem" 2004/02/22 "Map of Mayhem," titled "The Great Latitude Zero Battle" in Japan, references the film Latitude Zero both through its title, which is only one kanji off from the film's Japanese title, and its title card, which mimics both the film's title card and the famous Toho logo. The episode begins with an aquatic research vessel called the Seahawk going missing, a clear nod to the submarine of the same name from King Kong vs. Godzilla. A scientist named Dr. Atsumi, played by Kenji Sahara and possibly named after the character Joji Atsumi from The Mysterians, is researching a lost civilization known as "Murasia," similar to Mu from Atragon. The episode features a scene where characters depart via boat as part of an investigation party, which is framed similarly to scenes depicting the same situation from the original 1954 Godzilla and Mothra. When the party reaches their destination at Latitude Zero, they are attacked by the villainous Dr. Eggman's battleship, the Egg Giant Makan, which is clearly both named and designed after the Daimakan from The War in Space. The Egg Giant Makan is even armed with a laser weapon heavily resembling the turret of a Maser Cannon. The Egg Giant Makan is then engaged by the GUN Fort, a drill-nosed multipurpose warship clearly modeled after the Gotengo, also from Atragon.

Later on, Chet gets lost in a toy store and accidentally activates both a giant robot toy and a giant kaiju toy (the second toy is a hybrid of Godzilla, Gigan and Guiron) which then terrorize him in a toy city. The giant kaiju toy mimics Godzilla and also uses the Showa Godzilla's roar. The giant kaiju toy would use Godzila's tail-sliding kick from Godzilla vs. Megalon on the giant robot toy, then focuses its attention on the giant robot toy as Chet flees from the scene.

  • Rodan's roar appeared in two episodes of the anime Naruto. The first time was in an episode when Naruto farts on Kiba's face and Kiba screams with Rodan's roar. The second time, when Konohamaru calls Sakura "Naruto's girlfriend", she lets out Rodan's roar and punches Naruto.
  • In many episodes of Phineas and Ferb, a Godzilla-like creature has made many appearances.
  • In the popular 1980s sci-fi sitcom ALF, there are many references to Godzilla:
    • In an episode of Season 2, ALF enters the Tanners' living room and changes the channel on the TV, stating "It's "Godzilla Week" on Channel 6!". He exclaims "They're showing Godzilla vs. the Thing, Godzilla vs. King Kong, and Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster!". After watching for a few seconds, he sees one of the monsters (ironically, one not even from a Godzilla film at all) roaring at the screen and quickly runs from the room, screaming in fear as he does.
    • In an episode of Season 3, Kate uses Godzilla's attack on Tokyo in the original film to explain how an earthquake works to ALF. In another episode from the same season, ALF refers to a pregnant Kate as "Crabzilla" in reference to her recent moodiness.
    • In an episode of Season 4, when Kate asks ALF to leave the room (something ALF is asked to do a lot in the series), the alien retorts "You didn't say "Godzilla says!"". When Kate gives him "the look", ALF quickly reconsiders and says "But perhaps I...didn't hear!", then beats a hasty retreat to the kitchen.
  • In an episode of the Comedy Central series Tosh.0, during a video of a reckless driver crashing into several people and vehicles, host Daniel Tosh proposes that the driver may have been trying to escape from Godzilla, as a brief clip of Godzilla roaring from King Kong vs. Godzilla is shown.
  • In the anime Bakugan, there are many references to Godzilla:
    • In Episode 17 of Season 1, when Drago was about to defeat Tentaclear, he had his regular roar, but it was mixed with Godzilla's.
    • The Bakugan Mantris greatly resembles Kamacuras.
    • The primary antagonist of Season 1 of Masquerade resembles the Xiliens.
    • The third evolution of the Bakugan Hydranoid, Alpha Hydranoid, shares many similarities with King Ghidorah (and a few with Godzilla): they had a past as the primary villain but then turned good, they are three-headed alien dragons, and they have electricity-based powers and also human-like masters.
    • If one combines both Episodes 15 and 33 of Season 2, a story very similar to Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is shown: a known hero from the past seems to act weirdly and be evil (Godzilla and Hydranoid), then another good character (Anguirus and Ingram) notices this and attacks it, destroying its fake skin and revealing its mechanical identity (Mechagodzilla and Hades). The good character re-attacks, but it fails and is defeated. Then after these events, the real hero (Godzilla and Hydranoid) fights against his mechanical counterpart with an Asian-style monster on his side (King Caesar and Fortress) and successfully defeats it.
  • In the Super Sentai series Gosei Sentai Dairanger, the Super Mythical Chi Beast Daimugen, while in turtle form, uses the roar of Anguirus.
  • In episode 0 of the Chinese Donghua Dragon Raja, the main character Lu Mingfei tells a story about a giant robotic warrior on a distant planet named “Godzilla”.

Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich Adam Rex 2006/09/01 One of the poems featured in this collection of parody poems centered around famous movie monsters, "Godzilla Pooped on My Honda", features a narrator expressing regret about moving to Tokyo due to multiple humorous kaiju-related incidents. The incidents, in order of occurrence, include King Ghidorah fighting an unnamed turtle kaiju (possibly Gamera) and kaiju being exposed as giant men in suits, giant robots crushing their mailbox, Mothra eating their Sunday clothes, and Godzilla defecating on their car. The poem is accompanied by simple illustrations of the heads of King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Godzilla, and the next page showcases Godzilla fighting Mothra with King Ghidorah and two giant robots rampaging around, all while a woman stares in disbelief at what is presumably her car covered in Godzilla's feces.

Later when trying to ask Elke, their goth classmate interested in the supernatural for help in their investigations, she brushes them off by telling them to search online. Audrey responds by pointing out how internet misinformation isn't going to help much and sarcastically declares that lizard people are taking over streaming services to exclusively show Godzilla content. Elke responds with a remark that the lizard people probably find Godzilla to be an aspirational figure.

Eerie #5 2014/07/09 A story titled "The King of All Monsters" pays homage to Godzilla and the tokusatsu genre while delivering a horror story. The story follows an aging suit actor who is forced into retirement by selfish and greedy executives, who think replacing him with the latest in CGI and digital technology will make his character "scary again" to modern audiences. After being shocked by a digital camera, the angry suit actor transforms into a giant monster and rampages across Tokyo. The main character is named Haruo Furuya, a play on Godzilla's original suit actor Haruo Nakajima, and Bin Furuya, the original suit actor for Ultraman.

to
2023/09/27
In the last three issues of this five-issue miniseries, Elvira has to stop a dimension-hopping Vlad the Impaler from assembling an army of monsters from the Multiverse of Movies in order to conquer all of reality. After chasing Vlad through various permutations of vampire, Frankenstein and werewolf films, Elvira finds herself in the titular Monsterland of the 1968 film "Destruct All Kaiju" and encounters various kaiju such as "Kingzilla", "Kingya", "Crowdan", "Maripothra" and "Dungenuss". Additionally spotted in her arrival are an unaltered Gorosaurus and Anguirus. While Vlad cannot control the monsters directly, he plans on working with the Murderlaaks to recruit them instead after they gas the island so that they can put in their mind control devices. Elvira ends up battling the kaiju with the use of a Mecha-Elvira that is provided to her, using fighting tactics that she learned from watching Ultraman on TV.

Lawsuits by Toho

Toho enforces its rights to the Godzilla character and trademark very strictly.

  • Toho forced Adler Fels Winery of Napa Valley to dump an undisclosed amount of wine for using the Godzilla image without permission.[9]
  • Toho sued the submarine sandwich company Subway for allegedly infringing on their copyrights on Godzilla. Subway released an advertisement that was part of their "Five Dollar Footlong" series where a giant green reptilian monster attacks a city in it.[10]
  • Toho sued NOLA Brewing over their "MechaHopzilla" beer line, which uses a character very similar to Mechagodzilla.[11]
  • Toho sued Voltage Pictures over their film Colossal, which was described by the filmmakers as a "cross between Godzilla and Being John Malkovich." Toho claimed that not only did the filmmakers frequently reference Godzilla when discussing their film, even calling it "a Godzilla film" in interviews, but blatantly used the design and characteristics of Godzilla in the marketing for the film.[12]

Notes
